CSLU Disconnected from CSSM
Overview:
Here, a product instance communicates with CSLU, and you have the option of implementing product
instance-initiated communication or CSLU-initiated communication (as in the Connected to CSSM Through
CSLU topology). The other side of the communication, between CSLU and CSSM, is offline. CSLU provides
you with the option of working in a mode that is disconnected from CSSM.
Communication between CSLU and CSSM is sent and received in the form of signed files that are saved
offline and then uploaded to or downloaded from CSLU or CSSM, as the case may be.
